Spitzer’s Convention Ad

This 30-second ad, which played at the convention, (unfortunately without sound, much to the chagrin of its creator, Jimmy Siegel), builds onÂ AG Eliot Spitzer’s pledge toÂ make New York live up to its title: The Empire State.

It’s aÂ feel-good montage that, again, doesn’t featureÂ Spitzer himself – a technique that’s become something of a hallmark for Siegel and his ad campaign. Click here to view the new ad (it’sÂ at the top of the list).

The ad starts airing statewide tonight on network and cable. Here’s the transcript. It’s all read by a narrator:

“Remember New York?Â The New York that all roads led to – that luminous beacon of hope – that big brash promise of opportunity?Â The state that buzzed and hummed and churned and thrived and shouted so loudly you could hear it all the way to L.A.?Â If you donâ€™t remember that New York, donâ€™t worry; he does. Spitzer for Governor.”
